Reds 7-4 to miss top six after Sturridge setback

DANIEL STURRIDGE faces another six weeks on the sidelines with a thigh injury and his absence is set to pile the pressure on Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, whose team sit 11th in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old striker has featured in just three Premier League games this season and has not played since the Reds’ 3-0 victory at Tottenham in August.

Hills make Sturridge 11-4 to start another game this year, and 10-1 to be out for the rest of the season.

Liverpool have won only two of their eight league matches without Sturridge and bet365 make them just 7-4 to finish outside the top six.

Malky Mackay was confirmed as Wigan’s new manager on Wednesday and has the immediate brief of steering them out of the Championship relegtion zone.

The Latics are 9-1 to slide into League One and 33-1 to be promoted. Bet365 make them 2-1 to finish in the top half  and 4-11 to fall short.
